Well, Windows and ReactOS ARE using unix time. Not in the kernel, but in the crt.
And actually this IS an issue on reactos at this time.

Windows has solved the issue, by adding 64 bit time_t support, which is used by default and can only be overridden with defining USE_32BIT_TIME_T when compiling your software.
Our crt headers currently still contain a hack that defines this by default, because we don't have any 64bit time_t support in out crt, at least not in trunk.
I recently added a new time implementation to the amd64 branch that supports 64 bit time_t. It should work, but it's not fully tested.

Timo

Then what DOES NT use to calculate time?

Again, since Ged wasn't clear: This is NT. NT does not use Unix time.

negative int32 number.
